Guzmania andreettae

Guzmania andreettae is a tank bromeliad described by Werner Rauh in 1986 and endemic to Ecuador. It grows in wet montane forest on the eastern Andean slope at about 1,260–2,100 m, where days are mild, nights cool and it rains heavily all year. Specific cultivation notes are lacking, so care follows the measured climate and general montane Guzmania culture.
